Book Description
Perceptions of the Caribbean have long been determined by Eurocentric concepts and prejudices. In this book, James Ferguson tries to redress this imbalance by writing the Caribbean people themselves into their own history. The book follows the development of the Caribbean from its pre-Columbian period, encompassing the experience of conquest, colonization, Slavery to emancipation, and finally political independence.
This modern history of the Caribbean is unique in its treatment of the region as a whole and the author covers the French, Spanish, Dutch and English-speaking countries with equal authority. It is a concise and authoritative work complete with historical maps, line illustrations, an A-Z historical gazetteer and a chronology of major events.

Reader Reviews
A good read, suitable for beach or pool-side, especially if in the Caribbean. Covers many topics, loops back to important islands more than once. Covers Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti in some detail. Dutch Caribbean also well covered. Smaller islands (Barbados, French Caribbean, etc.) not as well-covered because of smaller populations. Basically focuses most on islands, with little detail about adjoining continental nations. Very good place to start (or think about beginning) more Caribbean study.
